OU v TT

No sin in losing this one.

Tech is really good and played well. They were even against Duke with 7:00 to play.

This group has grit and some toughness.

Agree completely. Should only be called a charge if it is absolutely plain as day. I hate how often college refs reward help defenders for sliding over and getting in the path of a player driving to the basket.

Yup. It's not supposed to be a defensive weapon, but a punishment for the offensive player being out of control. I hate what it's morphed into
 
I hate moral victories, we had a chance to win this one and we played terrible Offense in the 2nd half, bottomline.

Toby Rowland begs to differ. He thought the officiating was terrible in the second half, and so did I. They were hammering us in the paint and we couldn't get a call to save our lives; meanwhile they were benefiting from touch fouls got called on the other end.

Christian James was fouled on the elbow on his three-point shot with a minute left. Think him shooting three from the line at that point in the game couldn't have made a difference?

Tech's a quality team, but they're no better than we are. They got hot from the line (they're not typical all that good from the free throw line), so hat's off for that, but them getting away with murder in the paint played a huge role in the second half.
 
Why didn’t Odomes play in the 2nd half? I don’t remember seeing him & he played well in the 1st.

It appeared he was injured at one point. He left the game looking a bit gimpy.

I take some of that back, we shot 71.4% from the line, not sure if we will get much better ..maybe so?

Who in the heck are you lol? Seems like all your posts are negative and mean and taking the opposite side of everyone. I really don’t think you are an OU fan just a troll. I agree with Sky and Toby Rowland that the refs had TONS to do with this one. Not everything but I will go on record as Totally disagreeing with your statement above. And go see a shrink if you truly are an OU fan and work on positivity LOL

They teach officials there should be way more blocks than charges, but when I watch games, it seems completely the opposite.

It needs to be addressed as it is killing offense in a time where college offense struggles already. The call on Doolittle was awful and even worse was the "blocking" call on Calixte at the end of the shot clock. Awful.

Really? Hmm.. I'm in total agreement with you. To me, nothing gets the referee more excited than making the BIG charge call... i mean look at how they signal it!! Its stupid

What makes no sense is why the NCAA doesn't ever make this a point of emphasis. Every year they do that with various rules to try to increase offense and help the flow of the game. One easy step would be to tell refs very clearly that the benefit of the doubt should always go to the offensive player when a help defender tries to draw a charge.
 
Year after year, TT enjoys a wonderful 'home court advantage'. At WVU, 25 PF against them. At home? 14.

From Eric Bailey: What we learned from Tuesday's loss at Texas Tech...

Oklahoma only shot 32.3 percent from the field against the Red Raiders (who possess the nation’s top defense statistically). But the Sooners didn’t make things easy for Texas Tech, which allowed them to stay in the game.

The game was tied at 51 with 4:46 left in regulation after Brady Manek hit a 3-pointer before the Red Raiders put together a late run.

Texas Tech coach Chris Beard was asked about the Sooners’ defense.

"They did really good, they are a patient defense. A lot of people associate patience with offensive basketball but a good defense can be patient too, what I mean by that is they do not foul,” Beard said. “It is a big identity of Oklahoma basketball they do not foul much. You have to work to get possession, so when it gets to be mid-to-late clock, you got to work at them and go at them with the courage to make a play.”
